Bespectacled cardigan-wearer Stevie (Bonar) endures a job he despises and finds himself unable get a girlfriend – but at least he has music. With his friend Neil, he’s been kicking about in bands for a while, but it is not until the pair team up with Billy (Bew) – a more experienced hand with drive and ambition – and Billy’s cute pal Emily (Marshal) that there’s a real possibility they might be on to something good. Now armed with a demo, Stevie beats a well-trodden path to record company doors, but finds he also has to manage the tensions developing within the band while keeping his own aspirations in check. Borg brings his own experiences in music to this authentic tale of a struggling band in London; think THIS IS SPINAL TAP, but several rungs further down the ladder.

➜ We are delighted to welcome director Giles Borg to introduce the screening.
